Job killed when backup tasks fail
---------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-39
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-39
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: Bug
  Components: mapred  
    Reporter: Owen O'Malley


I had a map job with side effects that meant that any speculative tasks would 
fail.

Currently, the job tracker kills the job when the speculative task fails 4 
times.

It would be better to stop scheduling speculative tasks for that fragment, but 
let the job continue as long as one of the the instances of that fragment 
continue to run.
